Place the avocado in the brown paper bag and fold over the top.
Check the avocado every day until ripe. It usually takes mine 3-4 days to ripen. The avocado should give to gentle pressure but not be overly soft or mushy.
Notes
To ripen your avocados faster, add an apple or banana to the bag with the avocado.You can add several avocados to the bag, but adding too many may make it take longer for them to ripen.
